Discover the unique and vibrant taste of Biquinho Yellow Pepper Seeds, a rare heirloom variety that brings a burst of tropical flavors to your garden and kitchen. These small, round peppers with a distinctive pointy end are celebrated for their crunchy texture and juicy bite, blending citrusy, fruity, and slightly smoky notes. Perfect for raw snacking, cooking, or pickling, Biquinho peppers (also known as Sweety Drops) are a must-have for any culinary enthusiast.
Originating from Brazil, these peppers are a beloved staple, prized for their mild heat (500-1,000 Scoville) and slightly tart flavor. The 24” compact plant is a prolific producer, yielding hundreds of 1-1/4" peppers that transition from pale green to sunny yellow, deepening to orange-red if left to ripen further. Whether you’re a home gardener or a gourmet chef, these peppers add a colorful and flavorful twist to any dish.
Start your Biquinho Yellow Pepper Seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost. Plant them in sterile soil, cover lightly (1/4” deep), and maintain 85°F bottom heat with bright light. Keep the soil moist, and expect germination in 7-21 days. Once seedlings develop 6 true leaves, transplant them into rich soil (30” apart) or large 5-gallon containers. Harvest the peppers when green for a crisp, tangy flavor or wait for their golden-yellow hue for a sweeter taste.
Enjoy Biquinho peppers fresh in salads, pickled in vinegar as a tangy condiment, or cooked into sauces and stir-fries. Try them pickled for a delightful treat that pairs perfectly with cheeses, meats, and cocktails.

These wee peppers were the biggest surprise! They are amazingly citrusy! My plant was super prolific! Next year i'll grow three nd pickle them!
Just ordered your seeds, thanks for the super fast shipment! I love my sticker, too. I'm excited to grow these Brazilian peppers and pickle them, we love pickled Banana peppers so I'm sure we'll love these too! Thanks as always for your quality seeds, we always have great results with everything we grow from Sandia Seed.

I grow your basil seeds every year, they are easy to start from seed and grow into nice bushy plants that we harvest all summer long to use to make caprese salads (when the tomatoes start to ripen), as well as pesto. I like to make a big batch of pesto, then freeze "pucks" of it in a muffin tray to store in a container in the freezer for some summer flavors all winter long. These seeds always have great germination. I also like to let a couple of basil plants bloom as the pollinators love the blooms and they are pretty, too!
Bought the Green Chile Intro - 3-Pack and was able to start indoors the Big Jim Legacy and Sandia Select with a 100% germination rate thanks to the clear instructions provided. As of Mid July in NC zone 7A on the 8 chile plants(6 Big Jim, 2 Sandia) in the garden I have 5-7 large chiles per plant. The smallest chiles are over 7” and I’m already getting another flush of flowers for round 2 of delicious peppers. Highly recommend these chiles!!!
My sister loves gardening, and is quite a seed collector and grower. She'll love all these classic varieties to add to her garden and seed box. Zucchini are an old stand-by, as well as pumpkins, beans, radishes and more. She's never grown spaghetti squash, so that will be a fun addition.
Perfect looking tomatoes in a golden color with hints of red, they are gorgeous. These Rainbow Tomatoes were definitely the most productive tomatoes of the season last year, so our countertop bowl was filled with their golden deliciousness.
Make sure to use a sturdy tomato cage (not those wirey floppy ones that they most commonly sell!) - we ended up using some wood stakes to create a frame around the plants as they were so huge and loaded with fruit later in the season.
We just planted our seedlings for these this year, looking forward to watching them grow!
Germination for nearly all of my varieties was 3-5 days (95% - 100% success rate). My varieties include: Red Ghost, Carolina Reaper, Trinidad Scorpion, Devils Tongue, Cayenne Ring of Fire, Habenero Red, Yellow Jamaican, Paprika Numex, and Bolivian Rainbow. Another thing that I really appreciated is that each packet seemed to contain 20% more seeds than indicated (each 10 seed pack contained 12 seeds) - Not sure if that is standard but it was a nice bonus.
One of the best cherry tomatoes you'll ever eat!
I've found that when you combine roasted carrots, habaneros, lime juice and garlic, it will make the best hot sauce of your life. I think it's the sweetness and depth of the carrots that make the sauce even better, and pairs perfectly with the habanero heat. I got the inspiration from one of my favorite store-bought hot sauces, Marie Sharp's Habanero hot sauce. Sometimes I add some of your Chef's orange tomatoes too to make more of it, and they also give more flavor to the hot sauce and help tame the heat a bit. I grow these in my garden every year along with your orange habaneros, orange tomatoes and other hot peppers and veggies. Very reliable.
These fabulous peppers added lots of color to our patio pots. So pretty in multiple colors, plus you can pick them and add to salsa for a nice spicy kick. These are fun in any ornamental edible garden.
We let these hang dry, then ground them up – they made the tastiest pepper flakes. They have a nice kick, but good flavor too. Easy to grow plants, pretty peppers.
Great seeds, good germination, plants grow quickly and produce lots of pods for roasting. Great flavor and just the right amount of spice. We grow these every year in our garden in Utah.
These are so beautiful, tasty, and meaty. They make a great pico-de-gallo!
These were so big, one tomato can make a nice big bowl of salsa. They do have amazing flavor and color.
These were so tasty and very productive. Great for salsa.
I tried these purple Cherokee seeds on 2024. This is the first time growing these purple Cherokees and were amazed at the ease of germination and taste
These germinated in two days. I started them in midsummer and they fruited by late fall in my zone 10b garden and are overwintering just fine. I’ll have more to harvest by late spring. I made my red sauce for pozole for Christmas with my harvest!
